Tehran: Israel confirmed a rocket test of its own following which, Tehran immediately issued a statement, labeling Israel as testing a ‘nuke-missile, aimed at Iran.’
While the US and the other Western nations often complain about Iran violating the ban on advancing nuclear-capable missiles, Iran’s lack of nuclear weapons makes this surely theoretical. The US, in particular, has argued that even launching telecommunications satellites into orbit violates the ban because the know-how could conceivably be transferred.
Israel, on the other hand, is known to have a nuclear weapons program, and while it’s not clear that the test in question was directly part of that program, Iran does have a point when it notes that Western nations never complain about Israel’s arsenal and constantly rips on Iran for its civilian nuclear program.
